Last Tuesday night the St. Joseph\u2019s Amphitheater at Lakeview played host to its final concert for the 2022 concert season, bringing nu-metal titans Five Finger Death Punch, Megadeth, The HU, and Fire from the Gods along.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Opening the evening was the American rap-metal band Fire from the Gods from Austin. They were an excellent choice to get the crowd pumped up and primed for the festivities ahead. Right out of the gate, lead vocalist AJ Channer wasted no time hitting the crowd with the fiery and intense track, \u201cSoul Revolution.\u201d Channer and his band mates Bonnie Walker (bass), Jameson Teat (guitars, backing vocals), Richard Wicander (drums), and Drew Walker (lead guitar) had no trouble cranking out an incredible 40-minute set with other song highlights such as \u201cThe Voiceless,\u201d and \u201cRight Now.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The next artist was the Mongolian folk metal band The HU. Many may have first been introduced to this interesting band playing their version of the classic Metallica track \u201cSad but True.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The stage filled with smoke and dim lights as the band walked out onstage, a great ambiance to set the tone. As the stage lights came up they went right into a familiar song \u201cWolf Totem,\u201d an excellent song and an even better song done live. The HU displayed an incredible amount of energy and the crowd reflected that back. Even though their set was short they played some really good songs such as\u201cYuve Yuve Yu,\u201d and \u201cThis is Mongol.\u201d Overall, they were amazing and their music done in a live setting is so much more in-depth and intense than their studio recordings. If you do get the chance to see them live, do it. They do not disappoint. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hitting the stage next was the sonically charged and amazing almighty Megadeth. Their haunting and terrifying visuals are amplified by their music which makes for an immersive overall experience for the concert-goer. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

From the moment Dave Mustaine and the band took the stage with the classic alien conspiracy-themed track \u201cHangar 18,\u201d they had no trouble getting the crowd going. Mustaine was backed up by James LoMenzo (bass), Kiko Loureiro (guitars), and Dirk Verbeuren (drums) and played a blistering set that included an eclectic mix of their new and classic songs. Some songs included were \u201cAngry Again,\u201d \u201cPeace Sells,\u201d and \u201cHoly Wars..The Punishment Due,\u201d and some of their newer tracks which as well like the live debuts from their new album The Sick, The Dying and the Dead,<\/em> \u201cSoldier On!\u201d and We\u2019ll Be Back.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The most admirable trait about Dave Mustaine is that he does not take his fans for granted, he spoke briefly thanking the fans for their loyalty and sticking with Megadeth over the years, through the good times, his battle with cancer, and everything in between because without the fans he wouldn\u2019t be doing this. After the final notes of their last song were fading and the band left the stage Mustaine, in high-class fashion was the last to leave the stage taking a bow and thanking everyone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The final artist of the 2022 concert season at the amphitheater to take the stage was Five Finger Death Punch.\u00a0 The Las Vegas-based nu-metal band is no stranger to playing this area and brought their brass knuckle and punch-to-head blend of music to the amped-up and energetic fans who were waiting and ready to throw down and mosh. \u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Lead singer and ringmaster Ivan Moody and the band led the charge with their track \u201cInside Out,\u201d and only briefly paused before getting right into \u201cTrouble.\u201d Moody, along with bandmates Zoltan Bathory (guitars), Chris Kael (bass), Charlie Engen (drums), and the newest addition to the band Andy James (lead guitar), played a blistering 85-minute set. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Some songs worth noting in their set were their classic \u201cWash it All Away,\u201d along with their famous cover of \u201cBad Company,\u201d \u201cWrong Side of Heaven,\u201d and the fist-pumping rager \u201cLift Me Up.\u201d\u00a0 One thing that is for certain, this fist-pumping, slam dancing show was not for the timid or faint of heart but it was a good show to end the 2022 concert season at the St. Joseph’s Amphitheater at Lakeview See everyone next year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
